112: Rogue Hope

Rogue One: A Star Wars Story. "It is a period of civil war. Rebel spaceships, striking from a hidden base, have won their first victory against the evil Galactic Empire.During the battle, Rebel spies managed to steal secret plans to the Empire's ultimate weapon, the DEATH STAR, an armored space station with enough power to destroy an entire planet." These words are the first thing that anyone ever saw of Star Wars as the film opened in 1977 and now director Gareth Edwards has brought them to life. In this episode of The 602 Club host Matthew Rushing is joined by former Rebels John Mills, Bruce Gibson and Brandon-Shea Mutala to talk about Rogue One: A Star Wars Story.
